Evidence Withheld In Tomlinson Case
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) are to investigate claims the City of London force failed to pass on key evidence in the days after the death of Ian Tomlinson.
Mr Tomlinson, 47, died after he was struck by a baton by PC Simon Harwood on 1 April 2009 during the G20 London protests.
In the latest development, three Met officers said they reported witnessing an officer push the 47-year-old to the ground, however the information was not passed on.
The IPCC will now investigate further
The City of London Police have agreed to co-operate in the matter.
Last week an inquest jury ruled that Ian Tomlinson was unlawfully killed during the G20 protests.
The jury determined the officer used "excessive and unreasonable" force on Mr Tomlinson who was not taking part in the protests.
The jury added that Mr Tomlinson posed no threat.
The Tomlinson family are expected to make a formal complaint "shortly" about the alleged withdrawal of information.
